Plasma membrane association by N-acylation governs PKG function in Toxoplasma gondii [PDF]
, 2017 Cyclic GMP (cGMP)-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase G [PKG]) is essential for microneme secretion, motility, invasion, and egress in apicomplexan parasites, However, the separate roles of two isoforms of the kinase that are expressed by some ...

Peripheral and central mechanisms involved in hormonal control of male and female reproduction [PDF]
, 2016 Reproduction involves the integration of hormonal signals acting across multiple systems togenerate a synchronized physiological output. A critical component of reproduction is the luteinizinghormone (LH) surge, which is mediated by estradiol (E2) and ...

Epithelial organization and cyst lumen expansion require efficient Sec13-Sec31-driven secretion [PDF]
, 2012 Epithelial morphogenesis is directed by interactions with the underlying extracellular matrix. Secretion of collagen and other matrix components requires efficient coat complex II (COPII) vesicle formation at the endoplasmic reticulum. Here, we show that

Functional plasticity of antibacterial EndoU toxins. [PDF]
, 2018 Bacteria use several different secretion systems to deliver toxic EndoU ribonucleases into neighboring cells. Here, we present the first structure of a prokaryotic EndoU toxin in complex with its cognate immunity protein.

Glycemia Regulation: From Feedback Loops to Organizational Closure. [PDF]
, 2020 Endocrinologists apply the idea of feedback loops to explain how hormones regulate certain bodily functions such as glucose metabolism. In particular, feedback loops focus on the maintenance of the plasma concentrations of glucose within a narrow range ...

Enhanced at puberty 1 (EAP1) is a new transcriptional regulator of the female neuroendocrine reproductive axis [PDF]
, 2007 The initiation of mammalian puberty and the maintenance of female reproductive cycles are events controlled by hypothalamic neurons that secrete the decapeptide gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH).

Arginine at the host-pathogen interface
Infection and ImmunityNutrient availability shapes the course of infection. Arginine, a conditionally essential amino acid, plays a crucial role in both host immune defense and pathogen metabolism. As a precursor for nitric oxide production, arginine supports immune functions
